From the Principal's Pen

Welcome back to all our lovely families. I hope you have had a chance to look at the introductory newsletter for the year. It contained information on some of the exciting new directions planned for this year.In February we start the year with two school community events. The first is our ‘Meet the teacher evening’ which will be held on Monday 13 February 6.00pm – 8pm. This is a chance to find out about the school’s vision, values and plans for 2017 as well as meet the teachers in your child’s learning zone. There will be two presentations in each learning zone so that parents with more than one child can attend. We hope to see you all there.

The second school community event is our traditional school picnic which is held at Wenderholm Regional Park –Site 2). This is special and traditional Dairy Flat day. It is a day for families of the school to have a day out together and get to know each other. It is also a day to build the team spirit across the school through the house teams. There are team events and competitions and lots of fun for all. We encourage all parents/caregivers to attend.

Our learning zone blogs are in the process of being upgraded to include links, information and forms that parents may find useful and informative. Please visit our website and check these out.
